[SBE] Hybrid issues.

[Richard Hardy]

Curt: I just finished an install last week of a D75 with the SP-75 phone
module and a Telos 1x6.  We used the "hybrid out" from the D75 to the
Telos.  Everything works great in both live and recorded mode.  I had
some problems when first tested with breaking across the hybrid but that
was an issue of getting the level adjustment on the Telos correct.  They
are very happy with this equipment. Richard Hardy

  Not sure this is the issue. Although we don't use a profanity
  delay (yet), we do delay our analog signal to match up with our HD
  signal, which creates an on-air delay of about 8 seconds. This
  feedback/echo is happening almost instantly (less than half a
  second).

  "One jock claims it only happens on live calls, not on pre-recorded
  calls."

  Is it this simple:
  Are the problem callers not turning their radios off?
